Our life is what our thoughts make it. A man will find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other people, things and other people will alter towards him.

Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results; bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results … We understand this law in the natural world, and work with it; but few understand it in the mental and moral world—although its operation there is just as simple and undeviating— and they, therefore, do not cooperate with it.

Act is the blossom of thought; and joy and suffering are its fruits; thus does a man garner in the sweet and biter fruitage of his own husbandry

In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result.

You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as you dominant aspiration.

Above all be of single aim; have a legitimate and useful purpose, and devote yourself unreservedly to it.

No man is hindered by another; he is only hindered by himself. No man suffers because of another; he suffers only because of himself.
